When Something Is Big Enough, There's No One to Blame But Yourself

in life •  6 years ago 

Another day, another time to write. I relistened to a life review interview done on EQAFE called My Life of Anger. It's message was to stop blaming anything, such as the system or family or circumstances or parents, there is no other way but to participate in the system because you're already part of it. To make a crude joke you already ate from it. My next question would be how to participate in such a way to differ from any other adult entrenched in the system. Then I recall the story of the ant to the giant in the Desteni articles, as one single ant codependent on all ants, the only thing you can change is your starting point. The rest you do exactly the same as the other ants.

There's a quality involved with participating in a giving and receiving in the system. In the system meaning every time I eat, use money, even relax in one of the environments moulded and shaped by money like a park. A burden without being a burden. And more or less, I can see myself being shaped by my every participation walking on the streets going to malls and supermarkets, the popular includes what I pay attention to. I'm sure by some age people can tell at a glance who's more involved and who is less. Yet being so not independent but codependent, western culture sure makes a big fuss about individual achievements. But how can anything get done without the menial work being done? Whatever achievements are made is made on the shoulders of those doing the menial tasks, and common sense dictates a mental workaround takes far less effort than doing chores as a profession. Whatever the participation is in the system, it gives something for minds to work with, worries to handle, and the more you work with people the less prone you are to Alzheimer's. At the moment I see classical music as a music structure, performing a similar feat for people that try classical music theory, to prevent the mind from going dull. Having heard of an account of one old man fighting Alzheimer's through constantly doing music theory, music can be an idealistic way of how parts would function as a whole, like how people should function to form a group, like how notes form into a musical phrase. After all a big part of music is harmony, and the structure and logic behind that is more explored in classical music - old music - than you get to hear in mainstream pop music. The objective of pop music is to grasp your attention. Classical music has been an exploration into the capabilities of instruments and the many explanations of music theory.
